First World Rants

There's this one artist I watch.
Their art is really amazing, but they're also one of those artists who seem to get upset if their watchers aren't "active enough", so they posts passive-aggressive journals about it every other week or so complaining about it and being all "I'll quit yadayadayada" (With comments disabled, naturally.)


I don't know crap about art (and I'm also extremely shy/worried I'll just be annoying. They also appear to be one of those artists that won't accept anything but mindless praise, which makes it even scarier), so I usually don't comment much unless I commissioned the artwork in question.


I hate being made to feel like I'm doing something wrong, but I also don't want to unwatch them because I like their works.


I also feel kinda bad for saying this, but stuff like this kinda makes me wish FA had some sort of mute-system.


I get that it's really discouraging to pour your heart and soul into a piece of art (or well, not just art, pretty much anything, really) and noone appears to care about it, but acting all butthurt about it doesn't really help either.
I mean, most of their latest pieces have about 1000 views and ~10-15 comments.
I frequently see artists with bigger followings end up with far worse numbers than those. (Which is actually pretty sad.)
What exactly qualifies as "active enough watchers" to this person? Comments and faves from every single watcher they have?

While ago I made a comment about myself in a casual conversation, where I said that my beard is more of a "too lazy to shave" kind of beard.

I regret this.

I want my beard back, and I never wanna shave again. I don't care what it costs me, even if I have to buy an expensive trimmer, and wash my face every hour to not become some unhygienic dude, I want it back please, I look terrible without my pubes on my face...



And then, a while ago, I found some somewhat old pictures of myself with a bit of a neckbeard, and wondered how I dared to take a step out of my home, looking like that.

Damn, I'm insecure about myself... >_>

I've already dropped out of high school, I just want to get the damn GED over with so I don't have to worry about it anymore. But my state won't let you take it till you turn 18, also trying to lose weight and my body is crying cuz I've pretty much ended all junk food and am forcing myself to eat veggies.

Craving hard-boiled eggs.
Hard-boiled eggs are good.
I hate boiled egg yolks and can't with those tho.
Feels awfully wasteful to only eat the whites.
Grrrr and stuff.

The overhead fan is running because I accidentally pulled on the brass chain this morning, I hate trying to figure out how many pulls until it's off.

I can't find the case for Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Trilogy. The game is in my ps4 but the case just disappeared. On top of that, my shelf that holds my VHS/DvDs/Blu-Rays/Games has finally filled up, my room is already filled with bookshelves, another shelf is not ideal.

I'm so comfortable sitting down here at my desk, but now I have to get up and clean my room, but I don't want toooooooo

I friggen hate that like 80% percent of the time when I go to make a post or edit one, the textbox instantly removes the text and greys out once the page loads and won't let me type in it. I gotta keep refreshing the page until it works properly. What the hell is that? I have never had this issue until the last month or so. It really screws me when I want to make a quick edit to a post ASAP. Firefox glitch? Forum glitch? Who knows!

This occasionally happends to me, but I just click go to the reply section instead of using the quick reply box.

[The Past]

I almost always use the quick reply textbox first, and I never have the issue with that. My issue exclusively happens on the reply and modify page.

I've never had that issue before. We can look into it if you'd like to make a post in the Bug Reports board.

I need to remember to eat.

I want salad.
But my kitchen could do with some cleaning before I start to mess up more things.
But I don't want to clean.
I want salad. >->

I don't want to purchase a mouse for this laptop I carry with me to class everyday, but I know if I buy the mouse at Bestbuy it's going to disappoint me when I can get a much better quality one online in 2 days or so, for a hell of a lot less.
